Spend three hours birding in Tapir Valley with an expert local guide. The reserve brings together many different types of habitat, and each one holds its own birds, so the walk keeps changing as we move from one part of the valley to the next.

Your guide is a certified naturalist who knows the calls, the feeding spots and the quiet corners where birds tend to show themselves. We help you find and identify what's around, share what we know about each species and take time for good looks and photos. On a typical outing we often record around 100 bird species, though every morning in the forest is different.

The tour is run as a private group, so we go at your pace and focus on what interests you most. It suits seasoned birders hoping to build their list as well as beginners and families who simply want to learn more about the birds of Bijagua.
